NUMBER 5 PICS FOR ELIZABETH


This post is brought to you by the number '5'!

16 days ago, Elizabeth, from INKLESS TALES, left a poem for us on our post 'ALL ABOUT 5'. It was a poem about the number '5' and we were the first to read it!


The poem did not have a title and Elizabeth asked for our suggestions. Here are suggested titles we left as comments:
* FAVOURITE FIVE from Lauren
* FABULOUS FIVE from Ben
* SUPER FIVE from Talia
* FIVE PEOPLE HAVING A PICNIC from Callum
* MY FAVOURITE NUMBER IS '5' from Patrick
* PERFECT FIVE from Johanna
* 6 IS NOT MY FAVOURITE NUMBER from Jarvis' Dad
WE WONDER IF ELIZABETH WILL USE ANY OF OUR SUGGESTIONS?

We have also been busy drawing pictures about '5'.

Here are some that have been completed.

'FIVE toes in sneakered feet' by Emily
'FIVE days at school' by Matthew'FIVE windows in my house" by Courtney
'FIVE cats chasing a mouse' by Tierney

'FIVE members in my family' by Jacob (above) and Patrick (below)

'FIVE people from around the world' by Lauren
'FIVE bees' by Max
'FIVE birds in the tree' by Bryce
'FIVE playing basketball' by Laura
'FIVE friends' by Johanna
'FIVE bees in the hive' by Tierney
'FIVE people all different make many colours in the world' by Naomi
KEEP WATCHING AS THERE'S MORE '5' PICTURES TO COME.
WE HOPE YOU CAN USE SOME OF OUR PICTURES, ELIZABETH! :D

ALLITERATION - WE KNOW ABOUT THAT!

Last Tuesday, after being AMAZED by our poems, Elizabeth from INKLESS TALES, introduced us to 'alliteration' - using the same 'consonant' sound over and over.

She had seen some of our 'title' ideas for Bryce's poem, like 'Five Firemen Friends Fighting Fires in Five Seconds Flat' and challenged us to have a go at writing poems using 'alliteration'.
So on Friday, when we went to the library, and Mrs O shared Kim Toft's book 'A Sea of Words'
with us, we knew why this book was different - and it wasn't just because it was signed by the author and it had colourful pictures!













It was because Kim Toft had used
'alliteration'!

We've decided that if Kim Toft can and Elizabeth and Mrs M say we can, then we CAN give 'alliteration' a go.

WATCH OUT FOR OUR ATTEMPTS WITH 'R' WORDS!

IF YOU GIVE 'ALLITERATION' A GO, WE'D LOVE TO SEE IT. SHARE YOUR CLEVER WORK WITH US IN A COMMENT :>)

WHAT DOES A 'HICCUP' LOOK LIKE?


On Monday, we received another surprise from Elizabeth at INKLESS TALES. There are now 3 videos from her in our 'SECRET' part of INKLESS TALES.

There were lots of questions to answer, so we sent Elizabeth an EMAIL and we attached some RECORDINGS for her. They were : 1) a 'Hello' from us 2) us singing our 'National Anthem' 3) us singing 'dancing donuts'.
Elizabeth told us about a problem she has.
Elizabeth is writing a poem about a man who has the 'HICCUPS'.
Her problem is: WHAT DO 'HICCUPS' LOOK LIKE?
COULD WE HELP HER?
OF COURSE WE CAN!!!
Here's what WE think 'HICCUPS' look like!

Naomi's 'Hiccup' has 3 legs and it's the purple gloves that give you the 'Hiccups'!

Tierney's 'Hiccup' is very hairy!

Flynn's 'Hiccup' has long fingers that 'tickle' you and give you the 'Hiccups'!

Bryce's 'Hiccup' has lots of arms!

Emily's 'Hiccup' has lots of claws. Maybe that's what causes 'Hiccups'!

Patrick's 'Hiccup' is curved to fit in your throat.

Talia thinks 'Hiccups' are spiky!

Brooke's 'Hiccup' has lots of eyes to see where to 'Hiccup' you!

Callum thinks 'Hiccups' have long arms.

Billee-Jane's 'Hiccup' is a big square with lots of colourful hair all over it. You 'hiccup' invisible fluff balls because he is hairy. When his adult hair grows, the baby hair falls out and that's what you 'hiccup'.

WE EMAILED THESE OFF TO ELIZABETH, TOO. WE HOPE WE'VE HELPED HER SOLVE HER PROBLEM. WE CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE POEM!

IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT A 'HICCUP' LOOKS LIKE, DRAW IT AND SEND IT IN TO US. WE'LL PASS IT ON THE ELIZABETH. :>)
